COMBINATION TICKET AND IDENTIFYIN G MEANS. V

.Application filed. February 9, 1921. Serial No; 443,509. i

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, EDWIN G. PicKERING, a citizen of the United States,residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Combination Tickets andIdentifying Means, of which the following is a specification.

The principal object of my invention is to provide an admission ticketfor socials, entertainments and other gatherings, that contains a stubupon which the naine and address of the invited person appears.A

It is a further object of my invention to divide, by scored lines, astrip into ticket sections, each one of which, in length, is a multipleof the length of the single space of a typewriter, whereby the stripneeds to be adjusted but once on the platen to bring the identifyingdata directly upon the scored lines designed to receive it.

It is another object of my invention to permit the identifying portionof the ticket, after being severed from the latter, to be so folded thatit may be neatly and prominently attached to the coat of the wearer by apin.

ln the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a bottom plan view of aportion of a strip from which the ticket sections are severed. Figure 2is a top plan view of said strip portion, showing a ticket section thatcontains the invitation and identifying data. And Figure 3 is aperspective view of a coat lapel to which the identifying p0rtion of aticket is secured.

Throughout the specification and drawings. similar reference charactersdenote corresponding parts.

lIn the accompanying drawings, the nunuineral l designates a strip offirm paper that is divided by transverse scored lines 2 and 3 into aticket section. The space between the transverse line 3 and thetransverse scored line l above it, is the :identifying portion of theticket. which is divided by a transverse scoredvline 5 into two equalsections v6 and 7.

The section V6 of the ticket contains transverse marginal indentations8, the space between e'ach two of which is equal to the width of asingle space on a typewriter.

shown in Figure ,2, the invitation may be `my hand this 7th day ofFebruary, 1921,

The invitation space 9 between the transverse lines 2 and 5 is equal inlength to the exact multipleof one of these spaces `between the lines 8,8, whereby,r when the st-rip l is adjusted within the typewriter topermit identifying data to be written between the lines 8,' 8 on oneticket, said lines on the other ticket sections of the strip may bebroughtto the proper position to receive different identifying datawithout further .adjustment of it.

0n the reverse side of the ticket, or thatA i printed or engraved `inthe space between the transverse ylines' 2 and. 4,' whichy are scoreddeep enough to show through the strip. A strip containing these printedor engraved invitation sections, is placed in a typewriter, and thename, andthe address if desired, written between the-indentations '8, 8in the lower half of the` stub of each ticket section. .These ticket sections are then severed from the strip along the score lines 2 and 3 andmailed to the persons whose names are on the stubs.l For thispurposeenvelopes with a transparent opening through which the name and addressshows, may be employed.

A person who receives the abovedescribed ticket, presents it to theticket-taker, who detaches the stub section and hands it to the guest.The latter then bends it Valong the scored line 5, so that he may pinthe portion 7 of the stub to the lapel or other part of his coat in themanner shown in yFigure 3. lVhen' secured to the coat in this manner,the identifying portion 6 of the stub will be prominently displayed tothe other attendants at the assembly.

Having described my invention, I claim:

An identifying device made of a strip of paper scored to `form a ticketsection and an identifying section divided into a plurality of spaces,each one of which is equal in width to the single space of a typewriter,and printed matter on eachl section.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set y. l EDVIN G. PICKERING.
